Fall Weekends

I was going through a “funk” for a little bit. Change of season, peak busy time at work, and still grieving all hit me and it was nonstop tears. This past week and a half I finally started to get past it but this weekend was def the final touch to regroup.

We unplugged from the world and it was exactly what I needed. We also didn’t bring the kids with us which means I literally got a break and alone time with my honey.

The nights were spent by the fire filled with conversation and laughter. It was an overall great time with my fiancé, cousins and new people. I loved that we had no phone service because it allowed us all to interact, explore, and eat (a lot) lol.

Many people I know hesitate to experience camping but let me tell ya it’s a must try. At least once!

How are you spending your Fall weekends?

New Year – Better Late than Never!

Hi all,

This is a rather late post considering it is now March! However, I still wanted to share some of my goals for 2020 because I feel it is a way to hold myself accountable. I want to have a way to reflect on what I got done and what still needs work throughout the year as well as at the end. So here it goes!

  1. Lose weight
  2. Read 3 books
  3. Become an academic advisor
  4. Stop being or trying to be controlling of what I can’t and shouldn’t
  5. Learning to trust again (if I learn to be more trusting, I feel it will help me be less controlling)
  6. Becoming better at communicating (I can write things down easily, why can’t I just express myself the same way…ugh)
  7. Save $$$ (continuous goal, but sometimes life hits! No more excuses though!)
  8. Making additional income (this can help me save more…Marce Edits?)
  9. More blog posts (currently need to work on this!!)
  10. Saying no more frequently (self-care is the best care!)
